There is an energy revolution happening in East Africa.
Geothermal steam in the Great Rift Valley is being harvested.
Scientists say it could lift millions of people out of poverty and cut greenhouse gas emissions.
Al Jazeera’s Catherine Soi reports from the Olkaria power plant in Naivasha, in the Rift Valley.

Go Kenya
America said as long as you’re trading that steam in dollars or you’ll need some democracy soon too
Lol
🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂
This is Kenya, Obama’s homeland. We ruled that Zoomerica & run it.
More sense than u.k or european countries. Well done!
Kenya was always better than Somalia & Uganda as well. 🤣
keep it up kenya, soon you’ll be leading the world
Thank God I have lived to see this in Kenya and Africa as a whole.
well done
Geothermal could be used in a lot of areas, not just the Rift Valley. Kenya leading the way! (Well, and Iceland.)
Cool stuff.
Nice one
Lets hope corruption dont kill this project….
Kenya has used geothermal energy for decades
👍👍
I’m glad Al Jazeera is reporting this. Networks in the USA like CNN do NOT report advances like these in Africa. The racists from CNN who call themselves progressive are more interested in dividing people between the B/S left vs right paradigm and supporting a bonafide racist and ultra-corrupt president like Joe Biden.
Well done Kenya,Love from India. Let’s play more game of cricket.But Beware about the crazies surrounding Kenya in East & Western borders.
You mean the Somali pirates ? We know about them. They are cool for the most part. Only a few are extremists.
@J K.
U had idi Amin crazies in west & somali pirates in right earlier. 😅😜 pirates r still criminals understandable for economic reasons & poverty. But now u have al shabab there. Al shabab is al Qaeda wing.
A shame that Africa is rich in natural resources like this but could not really take off due to corruption, deadly tribalism, desertification and now, droughts on a huge swathe.
Don’t forget neo colonialism
cool
Kenya 🇰🇪 🇰🇪 🇰🇪
I rly like this
⚡++ Method
Only got one problem though

This is water to my soul! Thank you for this report! I so love that Kenya is powerfully leaning into clean power. The benefits will be ongoing and ever increasing. I cannot think of a wiser approach to governing at this moment in history.
Kenya’s star is rising. This benefit will also benefit the whole world. May this project increase in both scale and good will.
Time to produce a happy society
Well done Kenya!!.
Lez do this bby!!
Kenya is really shinning in development and innovation
To a fool his own way seems right,
but the one who hears counsel is wise.
Positive news about an African country from an international media house…..shocking!
This has been ICELANDS mail source of power for over 50 Years and it SHOULD BE THE MAIN POWER PRODUCING SYSTEM FOR THE WORLD! This has not happened as the technology has been very SUPPRESSED by the US government on behalf of Big Oil.
The oil companies do NOT want any energy the US can’t “PUT A METER ON”.
africans can’t handle modern amenities. so they will bring in others to manage the resources. those people will screw the africans out of money. i’ve watched this over and over and oever. look what european countries did to africa. look what china is doing to the world. we need to stop the nwo immediately. let countries go back to keeping to themselves. only cooperating with other countries on a limited basis. cultures clash. this is why you can’t force cultures to mingle. it is also why you can force people into the modern world. everyone needs to be allowed to evolve at their own pace.
Inspite of harvesting so much electricity from these sources the electricity price at the end consumer is relatively highly in regards to the GDP.. The challenge now is reducing the electricity prices so that the costs of manufacturing may decline and make the country a manufacturing hub.
I’M GOING TO TURN YOU INTO AN AFRICAN VASSAL STATE KENYA!

Kenya will be the first country in Africa to become a superpower. Everything seems to fall in place Energy is one of the major keys.
No it’s gonna be Rwanda
Great news! Geothermal is one of the 4 greenest renewables!
The million dollar question here is why is electricity so expensive in the country?? We have free natural resources that only require harnessing, we also have great levels of suns irradiance which is pretty much unexploited.
It ain’t new, we’ve been using clean energy forever. All our energy is clean, from hydro-electric to this geo-thermal and the new wind energy. What do you mean by moving to a greener energy yet since independence we have always been green. BTW, green energy is not cheap as we are brainwashed to think!!!!!!! Come to Kenya and see it for yourselves. Here we go with this green energy hoax again!!!!
They don’t talk about Kenyan oil
